Drew Brees said he paid $264,000 in mid-May to win a late-hour bidding war for a 1930s-era Purdue jersey worn by coaching legend John Wooden. The Saints QB said the jersey will go on display at Mackey Arena.

Purdue quarterback Elijah Sindelar helped the Boilermakers win two games down the stretch to get into a bowl game and then won offensive MVP honors in the bowl win -- all with a torn ACL in his left knee.

Elijah Sindelar threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Mahoungou with 1:44 remaining and Purdue capped coach Jeff Brohm's first season in dramatic style with a 38-35 victory over Arizona in the Foster Farms Bowl on Wednesday night.

TCU and Duke have agreed to a home-and-hone. Durham in 2028. Fort Worth in 2029. To make the Duke home-and-home work, TCU has kicked the second leg of its Purdue series back one year to 2030. That game will also be played in Fort Worth.

After being turned down by Mike Gundy, the Tennessee Volunteers have turned their attention to Purdue coach Jeff Brohm to fill the vacancy created by Butch Jones' firing.

Jeff Brohm got Purdue to a bowl game and, more important, injected the program with much-needed excitement this season. The Boilers won three of their final four games and received a huge performance from Markell Jones (217 rush yards) in the Bucket game today. Brohm's name will surface for other openings but Purdue should continue to ascend as long as he's in West Lafayette.
